1 Introduction

19wowph ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our platform at https://19wowph.org. This Privacy Policy describes how 19wowph collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal information in connection with your use of our online casino, sports betting, bingo, slot, and related gaming services.

This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. It should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform and contact us to close your account.

2 Data Controller

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 19wowph acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data you provide when using our platform. As PIC, 19wowph determines the purposes and means of processing your personal information and is responsible for ensuring that such processing is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

Where 19wowph engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf — such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, and game software suppliers — those parties act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) and are bound by data processing agreements that require them to handle your data in accordance with the DPA and this Policy.
